    I think the reason Pat is voicing the chord like that is Foo Fighters have 3 guitar players and his role is usually the connection from guitar to bass. He frequently plays with baritone guitars to get this affect. It would make sense he brings a bit of the bass melody in his chord voicings.

    • @yoyousif935

      In Nirvana, Pat played full barre chords, Kurt played basic power chords for everything except open G chords for some songs.
      And in The Germs, he had most of the melody. Pat has always had the role of giving the band a full sound.

    Winger (Reb Beach) - Seventeen. My one major "win" as a young, budding guitarist back in the day was discovering that Guitar Magazine had the tab wrong for the main riff. I saw Winger play it live on MTV New Year's Eve 88/89, and realized he was making different, "easier" shapes by just moving his pinky around, rather than bunching up and trying to shift frets on the B string. It also sounded "more correct" to my ear, and I was so happy to find years later, Reb himself saying exactly the same thing: that everyone gets it wrong, and then he demonstrated how to do it properly.
    Side note-- if you can find the multi-track stems for that song, the rhythm part is so much more nuanced and interesting than I remember, which should be no surprise to any Reb Beach fans.

    I’ve played WTTJ with the open Bb since I learned it for the first time. I think a key part of nailing the tone is to have the pick completely parallel to the string (as opposed to in an angle), I feel like you get more mid-range that way.

    "Wish you were here"-Pink Floyd is one that I learned one way,seen others playing it that way,but recently learned the way Gilmour plays it. Both look and sound almost identical. "Crazy train"-Ozzy,is another one. I learned the main riff from some magazine long time ago but then learned their is a slight difference in the actual way Randy did it. Nirvana has several as well but Kurt would slightly change his songs too. That is a sweet guitar.

    Im sorry Buddy, but Welcome to the jungle is still wrong dude.
    You slide into that B-Note from the A-Note on the G-String (talking standard tuning here of course)
    Slash even does it in the video.
    That’s also why he ends the walkdown with the middlefinger on the B-Note on the A-String, so it’s easy to slide into that b with the ringfinger.
    That little sliding detail makes the riff in my opinion, because it adds the little change instead of spaming the b string all over the riff.
    And by the way there is also a really distinct palm muting technique that I just can’t explain here by writing this comment.
    Love your videos anyways, I’m just such a slash nerd I had to write this comment, maybe you can relate !

      And you still forgot something, the second time he repeats the riff is different from the others, a detail wich is very noticable but being ignored by almost everyone. The only cover i found with it is by Kfir Ochaion, but he is missing the slides. Slash also doesnt do that live, but sometimes he varies one or two repititions in a similar way. I wonder if besides Slash anyone has played this riff ecactly like on the recording at all :)

    I play in tribute bands and the worst fear is that there'll be another guitarist in the audience spotting where you haven't learned the parts properly. But you know, when you're having to learn 3 hours worth of songs you take a few short cuts. I've been playing guitar 38 years and your videos make me realize I have no idea what I'm doing. 😂

    • @christophermyers8157
      @christophermyers8157 Год назад

      Playing the melody is the most important part, regardless of any other differences. Even when in a different key.
      You'll even see bands like Van Halen record in E then play live in E flat.
      It used to be the industry standard to record in standard tuning, then play live in dropped D or completely dropped E flat tuning live.
      Ratt, Dokken, Van Halen, Poison, etc. This is due to having a male singer that isn't proficient with a falsetto or higher register chest voice. It turns out that E flat is the highest note an untrained male singer can typically hit. Thus in the studio when you get 10 takes on the vocals you can hit the high E, G, B, G#, but live, you only get one chance, and it can't be at the end of your range if you are going to nail it every time, it has to be in your comfort zone.
      Guns and Roses is really notable for this. Axel rarely could hit the higher notes in the recordings live without his tone breaking up into an unmusical sound. Hetfield is exactly the same.
      Rush is extremely notable for this, as they will play their first set in standard tuning, and their second set in dropped tuning because Geddy can't hit the higher notes for 3 hours straight, but has no problem with the slightly lower pitch.

    Smoke on the Water. When I first started playing guitar that was all power chords. Once the ear got more trained I could tell I wasn't playing it right. This was long before the internet and the ease of access to tabs, sheet music, and tutorial videos we have now. Total facepalm moment when you finally learn it correctly, but that's the journey.

    • @CorbCorbin

      And what _is_ the correct way?
      That is one song that should go on a list of songs that the guy who played it on the record either intentionally or mistakenly show how they play it live(or when asked), as opposed to the actual way they recorded it.
      There are still debates happening right now, on the interview he shows how he’s doing it on an acoustic, and every live version, whether Deep Purple or Rainbow era.

    1:12 I thought you were gonna go into the rundown things on the higher then lower strings. Not sure which one is right on the E, B and G (play open B then bend G 2nd fret or play B 3rd fret, then G 2nd, then bend). But I'm sure I was taught wrong with the Low one. Sticking to the first couple of frets on the D, A and maybe E. I can't even remember how I was taught to do it.

    I've seen 'Silent Lucidity' by Queensryche played 'wrong' many times. Online tabs direct towards playing the opening riff with the open G-string, but Chris DeGarmo plays it on the 5th fret of the D-string. The shape is also easier to shift around, which he does for the follow-up riff.

    My dogs like bed time story's! They run to the kennels at night when I say, "Who wants a bedtime story?" Funny! 😅

    Crazy, I just installed a kill switch button on my guitar 2 weeks ago! I like it better then the toggle switch on the les paul.

    I’ve always been crap at covers (ADHD), usually I end up having to adjust so that they stick in my head.

    To be honest i miss a little bit the opportunity to learn music/guitar theory on guitar Super System. I mean I know there are beginner videos but I think it goes from 0-50 real quick
